BILL BLOG Monday October 14, 2024   Monday morning is here…start of a new October week. And we are getting ready to hit the “chill” button. Just 64 for a high today and the lows will be down in the 30’s some this week. Fall just fell big time I think.   And I know Fall is fast approaching when I read an article titled “Ways To Make Sure Your Fireplace Is Safe.”   And I also know we’re getting close to Halloween when I keep seeing this everywhere.   I don’t know why witches don’t use their GPS.   THE WEEKEND It was pretty chill around the Whyte House this week. Beautiful weather and there was a lot of football and baseball on the big screen. I’m starting to master “lazy” weekends while I’m home.   Yesterday morning though my daughter Heather Facetimed me as she and her husband Casey took a train from Paris to Versailles, France.   So I got to see the world famous Versailles gardens right from their iPhone. Technology is amazing sometimes

BILL BLOG Friday October 11, 2024 We’re headed for the weekend. It do be Friday. And our high in Twang Town is only 70 today with sunshine. And…it’s getting darker earlier. Hate that!   MILTON It certainly could be worse. Imagine if folks had gathered in the emergency location of the Tampa Bay Baseball stadium and had the ceiling come crashing down on them. Lord.   My brother and his wife live near Orlando. I was worried about them big time. They lost power, but it came back on without a really long delay and they escaped damage. Heck, he’s probably out playing golf right now.   I have a niece who hunkered down in the Tampa area. A tree fell in their yard, something hit their house hard and they had some frightful moments for sure. Their generator given to them as a gift from their Mom is up and running and they’ll be fine.   The theme parks look to be opening back up today in Orlando and some beaches may be open.   These are always surprising

BILL BLOG Thursday October 10, 2024 Thursday morning has rolled in. Sunny and 80 in Music City today.   YESTERDAY We had a beautiful Fall day in Nashville. “Comfortable” would be. great word to describe it. So I got to a doctor (no biggie) and a gym on the same day. How’s that for appropriate?   So a bit of a lazy day, and yea…I did spend some time watching the baseball playoff games. 4 really good series going on right now with a one team the Mets advancing last night to the National League Championship series. All of my teams that I could really root for the Reds, Brewers and Cardinals are all out of it…so now I’m rooting for a small market team to pull off an upset like the Kansas City Royals from my home state of Missouri.   MILTON The weather in Florida of course is not so calm. Tornadoes broke out yesterday to go with the high winds…120 mph and flooding. Multiple folks lost their lives in the tornadoes.   In Tampa the roof blew off the bas
